UNITED STATES THOMAS WARKER, OF NEW YORK, Y.

IMPROVEMENT IN APPARATUS FOR DRAWING EFFERVESCENT LIQUIDS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent N o. 14.14,@09, dated November 18, 1873; application iiled September 4, 1873.

To all whom it may concern: n Y

Be it known that I, TnoMAs WARKER, of the city, county, and State of New York, have q invented a new and Improved Apparatus' for Drawing Eiiervescent Liquids 5 and I do hereby declare the following to be afull, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable those skilled in the art to make and use the l same, reference beinghad to the accompany- 'A draw the liquid from said chamber into a tumbler or other vessel intended to receive the same, in such a manner that, after the relieving-chamber has been charged with the desired quantity of liquid, the surplus gas can be let off and the liquid from said relievingchamber can be drawn without being subject to any overpressure, and thereby the liquid thus drawn preserves its eiiervescence.

In the drawing, the letter A designates the pressure-relieving chamber, which connects by a pipe, B, with a vessel, O, that contains an eiiervescent liquid, such, for instance, as champagne. In this pipe is a stop-cock, D, which controls the communication between the vessel O and the relieving-chamber A, and a valve, E, is provided to let off any surplus pressure that may exist in the relieving-chamber. This valve may be arranged at any convenient place between the vessel O and the relieving-chamber A, andy it may be connected with the stop-cock D, so that it opens when said stop-cock is closed, and vice versa. On the bottom end of the relieving-chamber A is secured a discharge-spout, F, which can be opened or closed by 'a stop-cock or valve, G,

and this valve may be so arranged that it can be opened by hand, or that it opens andcloses automatically, according to the position given to the relieving-chamber. The pipe B is provided with a coupling or other suitable device, so that the same can be conveniently secured to the mouth of a champagne-bottle, or to an= other vessel containing an effervescent liquid. If a portion of this liquid is to be drawn into a tumbler, the valves E and G are closed, and the stop-cock D is opened, and thereby the relieving-chamber A is filled to the desired point. To effect this purpose the vessel O must either be turned up, or the pipe B must be so arranged that it extends down into said vessel close to its bottom.

After the relieving chamber A. has been charged to the desired point, the stop-cock D is closed, and by opening the valve E the liquid in the chamber A is relieved from all surplus pressure, and by opening the valve G such liquid discharges by its inherent gravity, thereby preventing the same from losing its life or effervescence.

If the efervescent liquid is discharged from the vessel C under the pressure due to its gaseous contents, the largest portion of the gas escapes by the force of the discharge, and the liquid in the tumbler has lost its life. By my device this disadvantage is avoided.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

l. The pipe B, having the valves D E for controlling the flow of liquid and gas from a liquidcontaining vessel into a pressurerelieving chamber having a discharge-spout, F, and valve G, all constructed and adapted for use substantially as and ior the object speciiied.

2. The described combination of the pressure-relieving chamber A, having the spout F and valve G, with the pipe B, having the valves D E, the pipe being adapted to a vessel containing eftervescent liquid, in the manner and for the purpose specified.
